The place is called The House of Marbles and has a very large marble run and it takes about 30 minutes to actually get all of the balls parked and then it trips and all of the balls come down through the run and then it all starts again, there are also three smaller ones downstairs by the restaurant, this use of steel balls and magnets was used at one of our club nights in Newton Abbot where you could flick a ball 3 inches and the ball at the end of the magnet run would travel about 5 feet and knock over an empty beer can, some where this is all related to an electronic gun that uses pulses of electro magnetism to accelerate shells along a gun barrel

That's it Richard, I simply couldn't remember the name so thought it best not to guess.

I remember big balls though, they were hardly marble size. There was a constant rumbling noise as they ran, all on twin round bar rails, with a third rail overhead for some of the sections that had them running in loops and back on themselves.

It was a joy to behold.
